Ortho on FHIR: Tracking Surgery Outcomes
summary
Rimidi and Emory build a mobile FHIR app pair: a surgeon app that shows seven-day clinic and surgical schedules and aggregates PROMs, and a patient app that sends daily SMS reminders and captures pain scores, medication use, and PT metrics. Integration uses Cerner FHIR (DSTU2/R4) with OAuth2 + MFA; the app reads FHIR Patient/Practitioner/Appointment/MedicationStatement endpoints, reconciles with an existing PRO database, and persists data via PostgreSQL encrypted nightly batch (PROMs kept in the app DB for research access). The system runs in production.
